    Liqueur: Cinnamon Spice Liqueur

    Source of Recipe

    hugs.org (posted to recipecircus by stella)

    List of Ingredients

    3 Inch piece stick cinnamon
    1 tb Minced peeled fresh ginger
    2 Whole cloves
    Few gratings nutmeg
    1 c Vodka
    1/2 c Brandy
    1/2 c Sugar
    1/4 c Water

    Recipe

    In a glass bottle or jar, steep the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in the vodka and brandy for about two weeks in a cool, dark place, gently shaking the bottle every day.

    Gently pour the jar's contents through a regular strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the solids to release all of thier flavor. Follow this by 2 strainings through slightly dampened cheesecloth. For true clarity and professional looking results, pour the strained mixture through a large clean coffee filter placed inside a funnel or clean coffee cone; loosely cover with plastic wrap since the process may take several hours.

    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

    Funnel the strained spice mixture into a glass bottle; then funnel in the sugar syrup. Cork tightly; shake to blend. Let mature at room temperature, or slightly cooler, for at least 1 week.

    YIELD: 1 Pint
